Comparing Nexus Water Ionizers
Posted by Alkaline Water Plus on 29th Sep 2013
Nexus Water Ionizers
The Nexus X-Blue water ionizer and the new Nexus Smart water ionizer are both produced by outstanding Korean manufacturer, Entech. They are very reliable, and made of high-quality parts. So other than price, what’s the difference?
At Level 3, the Nexus Smart water ionizer produced an alkaline pH of 10.1 with a -734 ORP (excellent antioxidant value)! At Level 4 the SMart water ionizer got up to 10.9 pH on the alkaline end and down to a 2.7 pH on the acidic end for St. Louis water.
Two Great Nexus Water Ionizers Compared!
I’ve constructed a chart to fully compare these two great water ionizers. As you can see, the main differences are:
- The Smart water ionizer has continuous cleaning [an important feature for efficiency in water ionization];
- power-booster options;
- under-sink installation options;
- better ionization;
- better filtration;
- and the under-sink kit is available with purchase of ionizer for about half off of the retail price.
Both high-quality water ionizers are sold at everyday low prices!

Further Comments on the Nexus Water Ionizer Comparisons
Nexus is a very highly respected name in water ionizers. It, as a company, has been working in hospital settings for over a decade. The certifications for both of these water ionizers are many: E, NRTL, ISO9001, ISO14001, KFDA, KGMP and RoHS certificates and uses FDA approved plastics.
The new Nexus SMart water ionizer is more expensive because the sophisticated electronics, plate construction and continuous-cleaning in the water cell are costly. Both water ionizers are fantastic, though. I highly recommend either one, and they are both eligible for our fantastic 0% interest payplan.
